POET





Word
Phrase
Complexity gauged
Thought
Expression
Emotionally injected

Basically the method
I use to persuade
Or pass information
Myself on display
Opened wide-eyed
Nothing to hide

Paper canvas
Substitutes proof
Your mind confines
Treasured jewels
I dig with shovel
Backhoe or crane
My machinery
Tools of the trade

Thoughts expressed in word phrases
Substitutes proof for treasured jewels

I know it
But what does it mean
So I'm a poet
Digging for booty

Image machinery
Sound manipulation
Rhythms
Flows
Beauty grows
To pay the toll
To wax your soul
Wane control
And where it all stops
Only the poet knows
